摘要
Change Detection & Captioning (CDC) aims to jointly localize changed regions and describe their semantic content from bi-temporal remote sensing images. While recent approaches have demonstrated the effectiveness of unified modeling, they primarily rely on shared representations or jointly optimized architectures, leaving task-specific communication under heterogeneous supervision less explored. However, detection and captioning differ fundamentally in their supervision granularity, leading to heterogeneous representations with uneven reliability across tasks and spatial locations. In this paper, we reformulate CDC as a selective information routing problem between heterogeneous task branches, where the key challenge is to determine when and where information should be transferred. To this end, we propose CoDeRNet, a unified framework that preserves task-specific representations while enabling bidirectional exchange of complementary information. CoDeRNet introduces a Confidence-Decomposed Routing (CoDeR) mechanism, which decomposes the routing condition into receiver-side need for support and sender-side reliability cues to guide selective transfer. Experiments on LEVIR-MCI and WHU-CDC show that CoDeRNet achieves strong overall CDC performance, particularly improving caption generation while preserving competitive change localization. Extensive analyses further show that the benefits arise not merely from joint learning or generic cross-task communication, but from explicitly modeling selective cross-task information routing. These results highlight the importance of conditional information transfer for unified CDC under heterogeneous supervision.
